If there were an emoticon convention signifying "Rolling Eyes Upward"
I'd use it!
Good times, Ron: Thanks!

I read this article. The authors gave their top recommendation to a
product named Rootkit Unhooker. It is developed by a small
organization in Russia.

I tried it. I was unable to interpret its output. And, now I am not
sleeping well at all. What if RK Unhooker is itself malware?

Sigh.

well, i'm not so sure i'd try rkunhooker either after reading this
http://www.antirootkit.com/blog/2007...table-rootkit/

seems to me that if you're anti-X you shouldn't be making X's...

If it is, you and I are both infected. It kept telling me there was a
stream running that kept it from loading properly.

Are you equally suspicious of KAV?

And IceSword originates in China. Ye gods, the very heart of the Evil
Empire! Is there no end to this?
